I hate that phrase.

My compliments to the chef. Because....I eat food on a college campus and it sucks.
And...what does the "peanut gallery" mean???
I think it means people who sit in the cheapseats...I remember my grandpa told me that.
An apple a day, keeps the doctor away...
I dislike eating apples...
Meh, Its like potato (Po-tay-tow) potato (Po-tah-tow)
No one uses the later, that isnt a word, that phrase only works when one of the options is wrong!
And also...
I hate you, die slowly...Quote:

That really annoys me for some reason.
Just change it to the Texan version! In stead of:
Potato (Poe-Tay-Toe) Potato (Poe-Tah-Toe)
It's:
Pecan (Pee-Kahn) Pecan (Pee-Can)
"GIT-R-DONE!"
The intent of the phrase means it only works when neither pronunciation is wrong. That's why it's supposed to be "to-may-to, to-mah-to," since both are used and considered correct in different parts of the world.Quote:

And finally, "Slow Up" bothers the hell out of me.
"It's like comparing apples and oranges."
And... why are these incomparable, exactly?

An apple and a walnut and an orange and a car are clearly two different things, where as an apple and an orange.. well they're both fruits. :(
The presumed, more fitting alternative would be "apples and other apples."
